The skeptics have shown once again that everyone else is stupid about yet another thing. Just look at these stunningly lopsided graphs over at The World According to Watts. They show the heat capacity of the air versus the much more significant ocean... and make you wonder what's all the fuss over air about, anyway?!
Why on Earth do any of those idiot scientists even care about surface air temperatures when it makes so little difference compared to sea temperatures?! In fact, including Earth's crust and core temperatures, air becomes entirely negligible. Temperatures on the surface and in the air are just a phony meaningless measure that purposefully hides all the other temperature data from beneath the surface, not to mention high high above it, too! I've yet to see a credible scientific study of climate that doesn't fail to include temperatures on the moon. Do you know why? Because it's extremely cold on the moon! The scientists just happen to "forget" to include any data that don't fit their agenda.
Deep sea temperatures are where it's at. They don't show any significant heating.
Besides, in the future, when "they" claim all this global warming's supposed to be taking place in the air (which is completely made up of insignificant trace gases that have no impact on life or on humans)... like 50 or 20 years from now, most of us will have evolved to live under the sea anyway. Down there, where there's no weather to bother all the chicken-little scientists, what will they spend all their time worrying about? Jellyfish? Loch Ness monsters? While the rest of us are relaxing, enjoying exploring reefs and growing our sea-businesses, I'm sure they'll find something new to tremble about.
Addendum: I was doing some real blog science using numbers and a spreadsheet, and came to a startling realization about what I wrote above. It is this:
Air surface temperatures could go up a thousand degrees and every human being could by cooked until they're extra tasty crispy, and yet the average Earth temperature including the sea (and the core of course) would change by less than a degree. That is hardly enough for anyone to even notice.
Just imagine the entire Earth in flames, and yet as a whole I'd barely feel the change in it at all. To me, that image really drives home (like a last nail in an AGW coffin) the insignificance of air in all of this debate.
Polar bears, rain forests, air... all such precious "important" things to the greenies, but try to get them to worry about the stock market like the rest of us, and suddenly their care bear stare turns into a sour, Grinchy frown.
